Securing workpiece

WARNING:

• It is extremely important to always secure the

workpiece correctly with the proper type of

vise or crown molding stoppers. Failure to do so

may result in serious personal injury and cause

damage to the tool and/or the workpiece.

• After a cutting operation do not raise the blade

until it has come to a complete stop. The raising

of a coasting blade may result in serious personal

injury and damage to the workpiece.

• When cutting a workpiece that is longer than

the support base of the saw, the material

should be supported the entire length beyond

the support base and at the same height to

keep the material level. Proper workpiece support

will help avoid blade pinch and possible kickback

which may result in serious personal injury. Do not

rely solely on the vertical vise and/or horizontal

vise to secure the workpiece. Thin material tends

to sag. Support workpiece over its entire length to

avoid blade pinch and possible KICKBACK.

Fig.33

Guide fence (SLIDING FENCES which are

upper and lower fences) adjustment

WARNING:

• Before operating the tool, make sure that the upper

and lower fences are secured firmly.

• Before bevel-cutting, make sure that no part of

the tool, especially the blade, contacts the

upper and lower fences when fully lowering

and raising the handle in any position and

while moving the carriage through its full range

of travel. If the tool or blade makes contact with

the fence this may result in kickback or unexpected

movement of the material and serious personal

injury.

Fig.34

The lower fences can be moved inward and outward by

loosening the clamping screws.

Fig.35

A red indicating area will appear as the lower fences are

moved inward and will disappear as the lower fences are

moved outward.

The upper fences can be removed or moved inward and

outward by loosening the levers.

Fig.36

In case of bevel-cutting, adjust the lower and upper

fence positions to be as close to the blade as practical to

provide maximum workpiece support, and make sure

that no part of the tool, especially the blade, contacts the

lower and upper fences when lowering and raising the

handle fully at any position and pulling or pushing the

carriage all the way at the lowest position.

Before cutting operations, make a dry run with the saw

turned off and unplugged, then check clearance

between fences and moving parts.

Before cutting operations, firmly secure lower fences by

tightening the clamping screws and upper fences by

tightening the levers.

When bevel-cutting operations are complete, don't

forget to return the upper fences to the original position

and return it.

Vertical vise

Fig.37

The vertical vise can be installed in two positions on

either the left or right side of the base. Insert the vise rod

into the hole in the base.

Position the vise arm according to the thickness and

shape of the workpiece and secure the vise arm by

tightening the screw. If the screw to secure the vise arm

contacts the carriage, install the screw on the opposite

side of vise arm. Make sure that no part of the tool

contacts the vise when lowering the handle fully and

pulling or pushing the carriage all the way. If some part

contacts the vise, re-position the vise.

Press the workpiece flat against the guide fence and the

turn base. Position the workpiece at the desired cutting

position and secure it firmly by tightening the vise knob.

Turning the vise knob to 90° counterclockwise allows the

vise knob to be moved up and down, facilitating the

quick setting of workpiece. To secure the workpiece after

setting, turn the vise knob clockwise.

17

WARNING:

• The workpiece must be secured firmly against

the turn base and guide fence with the vise

during all operations. If the workpiece is not

properly secured against the fence the material

may move during the cutting operation causing

possible damage to the blade, causing the material

to be thrown and loss of control resulting in serious

personal injury.

Horizontal vise (optional accessory)

Fig.38

The horizontal vise can be installed in two positions on

either the left or right side of the base.

Fig.39

When performing 15° or greater miter cuts, install the

horizontal vise on the side opposite the direction in

which the turn base is to be turned.

By flipping the vise nut counterclockwise, the vise is

released, and rapidly moves in and out. To grip the

workpiece, push the vise knob forward until the vise

plate contacts the workpiece and flip the vise nut

clockwise. Then turn the vise knob clockwise to secure

the workpiece.

The maximum width of workpiece which can be secured

by the horizontal vise is 215 mm.

WARNING:

• Always rotate the vise nut clockwise until the

workpiece is properly secured. If the workpiece

is not properly secured the material may move

during the cutting operation causing possible

damage to the blade, causing the material to be

thrown and loss of control resulting in serious

personal injury.

• When cutting a thin workpiece, such as base

boards, against the fence, always use the

horizontal vise.

Holders (Optional accessory)

Fig.40

The holders can be installed on either side as a

convenient means of holding workpieces horizontally.

Slip the holder rods into the holes in the base and adjust

their length according to the workpiece to be held. Then

tighten the holders securely with the screws.

WARNING:

• Always support a long workpiece so it is level

with the top surface of the turn base for an

accurate cut and to prevent dangerous loss of

tool control. Proper workpiece support will help

avoid blade pinch and possible kickback which

may result in serious personal injury.

OPERATION

NOTICE:

• Before use, be sure to release the handle from the

lowered position by pulling the stopper pin.

• Do not apply excessive pressure on the handle

when cutting. Too much force may result in

overload of the motor and/or decreased cutting

efficiency. Push down handle with only as much

force as is necessary for smooth cutting and

without significant decrease in blade speed.

• Gently press down the handle to perform the cut. If

the handle is pressed down with force or if lateral

force is applied, the blade will vibrate and leave a

mark (saw mark) in the workpiece and the

precision of the cut will be impaired.

• During a slide cut, gently push the carriage toward

the guide fence without stopping. If the carriage

movement is stopped during the cut, a mark will be

left in the workpiece and the precision of the cut

will be impaired.

WARNING:

• Make sure the blade is not contacting the

workpiece, etc. before the switch is turned on.

Turning the tool on with the blade in contact with

the workpiece may result in kickback and serious

personal injury.

1. Press cutting (cutting small workpieces)

Fig.41

Workpieces up to 68 mm high and 160 mm wide

can be cut in the following manner.

After turning the stopper lever clockwise and

sliding the carriage to your desired position, push

the carriage toward the guide fence fully and

tighten the locking screw clockwise and pull the

lock lever towards the front of the saw to secure

the carriage. Secure the workpiece correctly with

the proper type of vise or crown molding stoppers.

Switch on the tool without the blade making any

contact and wait until the blade attains full speed

before lowering. Then gently lower the handle to

the fully lowered position to cut the workpiece.

When the cut is completed, switch off the tool and

WAIT UNTIL THE BLADE HAS COME TO A

COMPLETE STOP before returning the blade to its

fully elevated position.

WARNING:

• Firmly tighten the locking screw clockwise and

pull the lock lever towards the front of the saw

so that the carriage will not move during

operation. Insufficient tightening of the locking

screw may cause possible kickback which may

result in serious personal injury.

2. Slide (push) cutting (cutting wide workpieces)

Fig.42

Loosen the locking screw counterclockwise and

also push forward the lock lever so that the

carriage can slide freely. Secure the workpiece

with the proper type of vise.

Fig.43

Pull the carriage toward you fully. Switch on the

tool without the blade making any contact and wait

until the blade attains full speed. Press the handle

down and PUSH THE CARRIAGE TOWARD THE

GUIDE FENCE AND THROUGH THE

WORKPIECE. When the cut is completed, switch

off the tool and WAIT UNTIL THE BLADE HAS

COME TO A COMPLETE STOP before returning

the blade to its fully elevated position.

WARNING:

• Whenever performing a slide cut, first pull the

carriage full towards you and press the handle

all the way down, then push the carriage

toward the guide fence. Never start the cut with

the carriage not pulled fully toward you. If you

perform the slide cut without the carriage pulled

fully toward you unexpected kickback may occur

and serious personal injury may result.

• Never attempt to perform a slide cut by pulling

the carriage towards you. Pulling the carriage

towards you while cutting may cause unexpected

kickback resulting in possible serious personal

injury.

• Never perform the slide cut with the handle locked

in the lowered position.

• Never loosen the knob which secures the

carriage while the blade is rotating. A loose

carriage while cutting may cause unexpected

kickback resulting in possible in serious personal

injury.

3. Miter cutting

Refer to the previously covered "Adjusting the

miter angle".

4. Bevel cut

Fig.44

Loosen the lever and tilt the saw blade to set the

bevel angle (Refer to the previously covered

"Adjusting the bevel angle"). Be sure to retighten

the lever firmly to secure the selected bevel angle

safely. Secure the workpiece with a vise. Make

sure the carriage is pulled all the way back toward

the operator. Switch on the tool without the blade

making any contact and wait until the blade attains

full speed. Then gently lower the handle to the fully

lowered position while applying pressure in parallel

with the blade and PUSH THE CARRIAGE

TOWARD THE GUIDE FENCE TO CUT THE

WORKPIECE. When the cut is completed, switch

off the tool and WAIT UNTIL THE BLADE HAS

COME TO A COMPLETE STOP before returning

the blade to its fully elevated position.

WARNING:

• After setting the blade for a bevel cut, before

operating the tool ensure that the carriage and

blade will have free travel throughout the entire

range of the intended cut. Interruption of the

carriage or blade travel during the cutting operation

may result in kickback and serious personal injury.

• While making a bevel cut keep hands out of the

path of the blade. The angle of the blade may

confuse the operator as to the actual blade path

while cutting and contact with the blade will result

in serious personal injury.

• The blade should not be raised until it has

come to a complete stop. During a bevel cut the

piece cut off may come to rest against the blade.

If the blade is raised while it is rotating the cut-off

piece maybe ejected by the blade causing the

material to fragment which may result in serious

personal injury.

NOTICE

• When pressing down the handle, apply pressure in

parallel with the blade. If a force is applied

perpendicularly to the turn base or if the pressure

direction is changed during a cut, the precision of

the cut will be impaired.

• Before bevel-cutting, an adjustment of the upper

fence and lower fence maybe required. Refer to

the section titled "Guide fence adjustment".

5. Compound cutting

Compound cutting is the process in which a bevel

angle is made at the same time in which a miter

angle is being cut on a workpiece. Compound

cutting can be performed at the angle shown in the

table.

A dado type cut can be made by proceeding as

follows:

Adjust the lower limit position of the blade using

the adjusting screw and the stopper arm to limit the

cutting depth of the blade. Refer to "Stopper arm"

section described previously.

After adjusting the lower limit position of the blade,

cut parallel grooves across the width of the

workpiece using a slide (push) cut as shown in the

figure. Then remove the workpiece material

between the grooves with a chisel.

WARNING:

• Do not attempt to perform this type of cut by

using a wider type blade or dado blade.

Attempting to make a groove cut with a wider blade

or dado blade could lead to unexpected cutting

results and kickback which may result in serious

personal injury

• Be sure to return the stopper arm to the

original position when performing other than

groove cutting. Attempting to make cuts with the

stopper arm in the incorrect position could lead to

unexpected cutting results and kickback which

may result in serious personal injury.
